* Python: surface Gemini cached and thinking token counts in usage details * Python: surface Bedrock cache token counts in usage details * Python: surface Gemini cached and thinking token counts in usage details * Python: surface Bedrock cache token counts in usage details * Return None from Bedrock _parse_usage when no token counts are present Matches the UsageDetails | None return annotation and the Gemini connector's behavior, so a usage payload with no recognized keys no longer propagates an empty mapping. Adds a regression test.
Get Started with Microsoft Agent Framework Gemini
Install the provider package:
pip install agent-framework-gemini --pre
Gemini Integration
The Gemini integration enables Microsoft Agent Framework applications to call Google Gemini models with familiar chat abstractions, including streaming, tool/function calling, and structured output.
Structured Output
Gemini structured output can be configured with either a Pydantic model in response_format, a JSON schema mapping in response_format, or a Gemini-specific response_schema. Declarative agents that define outputSchema pass that schema through response_format.
Authentication
The connector supports both google-genai authentication modes.
Gemini Developer API
Obtain an API key from Google AI Studio and set either the package-prefixed or SDK-standard environment variable:
export GEMINI_API_KEY="your-api-key"
# or: export GOOGLE_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export GEMINI_MODEL="gemini-2.5-flash-lite"
# or: export GOOGLE_MODEL="gemini-2.5-flash-lite"
Vertex AI
Set the standard Vertex AI environment variables used by google-genai:
export GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI=true
export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="your-project-id"
export GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION="global"
export GOOGLE_MODEL="gemini-2.5-flash-lite"
Examples
